Oh Fudge!

I try so hard not to swear.

And in the scriptures it teaches us to not swear by the sun, moon or things on the earth. And, I know that in that example it is to make an oath by the sun, star, moon or anything on the earth. But, I find that our English language is getting so limited by the words we hear around us that we are using substitutions for the real words. And, not using the richness of our words. See, I can't even find a different word for word.

I find myself so very guilty -- When I get really frustrated, I say, "Oh Fudge"

I make really good fudge, and I got this out of the Salt Lake Triubune some 30 years ago, and it is still my favorite.

Please enjoy, and don't swear - by the Fudge or anything else.

  1. Are you sure you don't have to grease the pan? I always get really nervous when it says not to do that.
